It depends on which isotope you are asking about. Some decay through alpha, some decay through beta, some decay through other processes. All can leave the nucleus in an excited state, resulting in gamma emission.

Order gamma decay beta decay and alpha deacy form weakest to strongest?
gamma decay beta decay alpha decay
What are the products of radioactive decay?
alpha decay, beta decay, and gamma radiation
What are the types of radioactive decay?
alpha, beta, gamma.
How were Alpha decay and beta decay discovered?
Alpha, beta, and gamma radiation were first observed from a sample of Radium in a magnetic field.
What are the three products of radioactivity decay?
alpha decay, beta decay, and gamma radiation
The emission of electromagnetic energy from an atomic nucleus is called decay?
gamma
How is the atomic number of a nucleus change is it by alpha decay or beta decay or gamma decay?
Alpha decay decreases the atomic number by two. Beta- decay increases the atomic number by one. Beta+ decay decreases the atomic number by one. Gamma decay does not change the atomic number. However, gamma decay is often incidental to a precipitating alpha or beta event that upsets the energy equilibrium in the nucleus, so the two are not unrelated.
Non-example of alpha decay?
Beta or gamma disintegration.
What are the 3 forms of nuclear decay?
Alpha, Beta, and Gamma
Is alpha and beta decay are almost always accompanied by what?
gamma radiation
How does americium - 241 undergo beta decay?
Americium-241 has an alpha decay associated with gamma.
The least energetic of the forms of radioactive decay is ______?
alpha decay
